Eastern Europe Holiday (:

Diary for Eastern Europe Trip 2013

Day 1 & 2 - 031213 & 041213

We boarded the plane but time was a little tight but we still had some time to go to the lounge to chill and relax and eat some dinner, and when we signed into lounge boarding gate had already opened. Woahh. Cool heh. So basically it was Rainforest lounge by SATS. And I ate mainly steamed chicken (that was rather salty) and mashed potatoes. The plane we took was about 7 hours then we had a transit in Dubai for 3 hours or so. The plane we took was A380, well I took it once before already last time I think it was 2009 during my japan trip. ;) then in Dubai airport we took this train (equivalent of our sky train) from terminal A to terminal B/C. Then we went to the lounge again, this time round Maharba lounge. Time was even tighter and we entered the boarding gate just 20 minutes before departure time, also just when they were about to close the gates. Imagine what we were going to do at Dubai if we missed the flight omgosh. That was really late at night midnight already (3am in Dubai & 7am in Singapore) Then we had some fun meaning sleep muahaha on the plane this time round bound to Frankfurt. When we arrived at Frankfurt, we had collected our luggages and started to change into our winter clothing, which was really really thick and hot and stuffy. When we were about to leave, everyone in the airport was caught and stuck at the customs because someone had illegal stuff and we just had to wait till they were done. Ohmy waiting there in the airport, heater on, a good 200 people, all there it was sure stuffy. Following that we started our holiday journey. We boarded our 48 seater tour bus with only 21 people. Sure it was comfy comfy! ;) we took a super long bus journey from Frankfurt to Dresden. Sadly this tour we are not going to black forest again. When I went Germany in 2010 it was really fun making lots of snowballs and removing people's roofs of snow to make snowballs, really huge ones! (: in Dresden we had this city tour and moved around places like their palaces, semper opera house and many more! But because it's winter, the nights are longer and at 4 plus it turned dark already. We had a good time taking pictures and touring the city yay! Also cause it's the first day and we're still suffering from jetlag. 

Ohh and I learnt a German word which is pickel. Here's a joke first before I say that word. I shall walk into Macs and ask for a double cheeseburger with extra pickles. The workers would scrape pimples off their faces for me to have my burger cause I asked for extra pickels. <<in Germany, pickels are actually pimples>> alright I guess that's all for today and my Instagram account has all the pictures, or rather a rough summary of what we visited today. (; BYE DIARY! <3

Day 3 - 051213

We had morning call at 7am and departed from Residence Alt Dresden at 9am. Then we travelled by bus to Berlin by bus for about 2-3 hours, in the mean time stopping over for a toilet break and lunch (Chinese food). Well, I prefer western food but not many people do sadly. After lunch we went to DM Supermarket to buy water and chocolates yum! We had our city tour after lunch and shopping! (: so this a actually where we went, hopefully I don't get anything wrong ^^ or spell anything wrongly, pardon me 

Unter den Linden (Reichstag & Brandenburg Gate), Berlin Wall, TV Tower, Revolution Square, US Embassy and others, German Palace, Old Museums, Broken church, Stalin Alley etc and Western food for dinner instead of Chinese food was  esp the choc mousse,  

Alright that's just a brief summary and now I'll tell you, diary, more about each place (:

Berlin Wall is just this long wall that is vandalized but is super pretty. And opposite Berlin Wall is O2 mall, the oxygen gas symbol in chemistry, and it's some car mart! 

[For the other places they are just monuments and we drove past them in the coach and we took pics along the way] 

At the revolution square, there was this group of people. They were chanting and shouting... They were having a hunger strike and it was really cool to walk past them but kinda scary cause i don't know when they'll come up and attack us! 

Then there was this park that at any point in time in summer there would be 150 men bathing there! (: it's this park in the open in public and I really wonder how it's allowed to expose yourself in public with women, little kids, other men walking past?? 

Oh and the traffic lights over here in Berlin are super fast! I'm serious. Before you can even cross half of the road it turns red and I think I almost got knocked down twice or thrice in this whole trip already gosh I better watch out. Actually it's cause I'm too careless I guess. Once was at the airport coming out and twice today cause the traffic lights are annoying and once more yesterday oh that means That's all for today, Day 3. (: more will come tomorrow diary. BYE DIARY! <3

Day 4 - 061213

Wake up call was at 6am, breakfast at 7am and departed Azimut Hotel at 8am. We took this super long bus ride to Poland (Poznan). We took this city tour around Poland after lunch which was Chinese food and lunch was quite yummy too (:. Honestly, I find city tours kinda boring if we just tour around in the bus and not go out of the bus, but at times we do. (: we passed by many places and I felt that the local guide talked too much, but I guess he was trying to give us more information about Poznan and increase our knowledge! I'm quite tired of describing each of the places in detail but I enjoyed the Old Market Square the most as it snowed really heavily after that. The snow was super heavy and I think it was heavier than in 2010 in Paris. (Throwback) in Paris I experienced the heaviest snow in the past 23 years then and it was awesome and heavenly! Playing in the outdoors outside the opera house and making snowballs that are super huge with diameters approximately 25cm great yeah! But now when I'm writing this I'm actually warming up in the shopping center! I have many pictures and they are all uploaded on my Instagram so do take a look kayz! Alright I guess today is all about SNOW SNOW SNOW AND MORE SNOW SO hopeful there will be more snow! So byes and that is all for today already! (:

~ till we next meet, goodbye!
